説明

Currently, if you translate something with a side-condition from ARB, the translator produces the code raise Bind. It would be nice to tweak this a little to allow an arbitrary exception. For example:

val _ = register_exn ``Size``; (* made this up... not sure how it should work *)
val sub_def = Define`sub i ls = if i < LENGTH ls then EL i ls else FAIL Size ARB`;

to produce code that calls raise Size rather than raise Bind. This requires the translator to support defining exceptions too.

For sophisticated use of exceptions, one must use CF, but for exceptions that correspond to side-conditions we expect to always be true, it would be nicer to just use the translator.
